I checked Joy's blog this morning and yup - as it is the last weekend of the month it is time for the table scraps challenge link up!
I had played with my crossed canoe die earlier this month thinking it would make a cute table runner. I still think that.... but maybe next month!
I was cleaning off the sewing table/cutting mat area and found a stack of these leftover scraps from my 5 inch charms I used to make my applique hearts.
I had sewed 4 together to get a middle piece that was usable. Well, those got pressed and cut into 6 - 4.5 inch squares and there are 3 - 4 inch ones still to 'process'. I had some leftover 1.5 inch black ends of strips from the Snowman quilt I just finished. That worked to attach them together. I didn't have enough to go around the outside. I decided to just finish it off with a little machine quilting. I pulled 2 little strips of leftover purple bindings in slightly different shades that got spliced together and finished this off with about 4 inches left over. I'd say this truly is a 'scrap buster'! If you look close at the bottom you can see the 2 different color purple bindings =).
Linking up with the Table Scrap Challenge.

Oh what fun using leftovers--just like we had for dinner--leftover turkey dinner--and it was just as good...Tom cut all the rest of the meat off the bird and tomorrow will be turkey club sandwiches--
I managed to quilt the JOY banner for my DIL --just long vertical quilting along the seam lines and also cut border strips for joining and ironing tomorrow...hugs, Julierose
It is fun to see all the leftovers getting put to great use. Putting every last scrap to work is always so much fun.
That's a neat way to use the good corners of odd-shaped scraps! I love the different purples together. Great idea, Deb!
Wow, thanks for the inspiration! I never would have thought of that! It’s just cute as can be!
LOVE how you used up those leftover bits, Deb!! Kudos on the scrappy binding, too. Thanks for your participation in the TABLE SCRAPS Challenge!
Lovely use of scraps, and all colour coded too. Jane
You made a pretty mat, Deb.
Nicely done. I worked with some purples this week too.
